TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking clarification regarding the necessity of a letter from their embassy to extend their visa in Thailand after having already extended their stay and completed a border run. The comments indicate that while an embassy letter is not required for the initial extension, it may be required for further extensions. The rules may also be affected by current circumstances, such as border closures.

There will have to be a lot of flexibility allowed due to borders being closed znd lack of flights. Previous rules dont apply any more.

@Martin ********

you're confused.

You can extend every entry ONCE

SO you came in and then got an extension

THEN you can in again BUT you didn't extend that entry yet.

The rule is you can extend every 30 day visa exempt entry ONCE for 1900baht

now once you get that extension on your new entry and if you need more time you WILL need the embassy letter but right now you're on a 30 day entry and you can get a 30 day extension on it like normal

You can extend the stamp from your border run for 30 days, 1900b.

Then with a letter from your embassy you can extend a further 30 days on top of that.

No need for letter for the first extension
